Cleaning Barrels and General Maintenance

MJS · Mar 25, 2017

Fellow Airgunners,
What products do you recommend for cleaning the barrel of a PCP (Maximus) and an RWS springer. I have some 20 year-old Beeman cleaner/degreaser, but it's probably past it's shelf life. Any other info will be appreciated. (I did a search on this but not much came up. If there's a link I'd appreciate it.)

Thanks!

Kroil, Crownsaver, and 2" cotton patches. Don't worry about orings or anyhting and just pull that puppy through. A couple pull throughs with the kroil patch, then three or four more with a dry patch.

John_in_ma I have a question about Kroil. Can you tell me what is it's general intended use? I have had a gallon of it for years and used it on old rusted bolts etc. much like breakfree. Thanks in advance. Nick

I just prefer WD-40. I have lots of other products on the shelf now but WD-40 seems to cover it all for me.

Eezox on a couple of patches, followed by 4-5 dry ones!

Thanks! This is all really good info.

Question about Kroil in a PCP. Isn't there a danger of ignition if you don't get it all out?

Ballistol and patchworm have always been my first choice and are what I use on all thelse review guns to get them to perform. I like Kroil too where there's no o-rings.
